I do not think I ever hinted that it was a requirement (which would have meant that an author to post such a patch without studying the history behind it was somehow an evil person). But now all of us have a readily available reference to the earlier story, we can make a more informed discussion. As I said elsewhere, I wouldn't be surprised if there are many places that pretends as if ID or Hash were canonical terminology and confuse readers by being inconsistent, and we should address such discrepancies as we find them. Thanks.
